Sabrina Loves the Spa

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Just popping in to share the Mother's Day card I made, using "Sabrina Loves the Spa" by Stamping Bella. I stamped her onto watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Markers before fussy cutting.

Hello Handsome

A bit of paper piecing today with this masculine card - I found the folded base card while I was having a tidy up last week, already covered with two papers.

I dug out the paper pad ('Mankind' 6x6 pad from Simply Creative) and used it to paper piece my little character (IndigoBlu 'Mini Mike'). His head and arms are coloured in with Copic markers.

Happy Christmoose

Hello lovely peeps
 

I've had a bit of fun with the Merry Moose dies by Tim Holtz for this Christmas card by adding a customised sentiment with Hobby Art Alphabet stamps (I do love a pun). 

He's cut from brown core-dinations card which I then sanded to reveal the white core.

 

The trees were cut from dark green card with a Marianne die and then I stippled white paint onto them to make them look snowy.

The card base is a z-fold that I made from dark green card and some decorative paper (the 'Frozen Snowflakes' paper at the bottom is from Lili of the Valley and the main paper is a positively ancient 12x12" design from my stash (papermania?)

For extra dimension I attached a strip of acetate inside the centre of the card with red sticky tape so that one of the tress appears to 'float'.

Technology mad Mum

Hello lovely peeps

A commission to share with you today - my friend's Mum is into all the latest igadgets so I dug out James Laptop from my stash of stamps. I used the rubber version but you can get him as a digi in the Lili of the Valley Etsy shop here.

18th Birthdayz

Hello lovely peeps

Today's card is a z-fold I've made with my new 'Oddball Standing Boy' from Stamping Bella

Old Chap Z-fold

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new email follower :o)

 This is the z-fold card that I made for my brother-in-law's 50th.

I used papers from the Teresa Collins 'He Said, She Said' 6x6 pad and the largest piece with the clocks is from the Winnie in Wonderland collection by Polkadoodles.
Each piece is edged with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.

I stamped down the side of the middle panel with the clock and greeting in the Chronology stamp set from Papermania - I think it was a freebie in the Docrafts Creativity magazine.

For the speech bubbles I used a Sizzix die - Modern Surrealists "Thought Talk Bubbles" - and stamped in the words with Black Memento. The Happy Birthday is a Lili of the Valley stamp, the typed alphabet is from Hobby Art and the last one is Retro Alphabet by My Sentiments Exactly.

I mutilated the capital C stamp (you get two of them) by cutting the bottom a little because it was looking like a G to me.

The pointy finger is a Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers die - I shaded the shirt cuff with distress ink using the edge of a piece of card, then coloured the suit cuff with an alcohol marker.

The numbers are from the Tonic Squeezebox set of dies.
